How to form it

Put こそ after a noun, in place of は, が or を: 今年(ことし)こそ (this year for sure).
It can follow other particles: あなたにこそ (to you above all).
After a reason, からこそ means "precisely because": 好(す)きだからこそ、厳(きび)しく言(い)う (I'm hard on you precisely because I care).

今年(ことし)こそ、合格(ごうかく)したい。

This year, I'm going to pass for sure.

こちらこそ、よろしくお願(ねが)いします。
